One time I was driving to work on a hot summer morning. Just like today. Hung over pretty bad and nursing a pint of rum. I was in complete agony, had a fiery headache, and starting to sweat because my truck didn’t have air conditioning. Taking shots now and then while auto-piloting the blue Ranger along the river. I needed just enough liquor to bring my headache down to a manageable level so I could make it through until lunch.
This story begins with a Jim Beam, a Coke chaser, and a drum machine. Imagine if you will…a Jamaican, new wave dance-off in the heart of Ottumwa, Iowa. A crowd of maybe 10 and I, your host, fresh from a reggae retreat on the humid beaches of Costa Rica…
No, it wasn’t a Jim Beam. If memory serves (and it usually does) that night was the only time I willingly drank Jack Daniels. Of course, I was in pursuit of a lass and unintimidated by the Wapello dragons not uncommon to that region during those cold, wintery months.
Looking at your photos I realize that you are a wealthy man and it could all be taken away with one drink. Congratulations on a new and better life. (The easier softer way. )

Dude,
I always wanted to tell you that the cloths you wear do not look that good on you. Please be more classy! It is for your well-being.
Just an advice from a friend.
The redistricting had a revolutionary effect. Today, the Texas delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives includes twenty-five Republicans and eleven Democrats—a far more conservative profile than the political demography of the state.
Complete reform for pretty much all parts is what we need. And until the greed and self-seeking-ness is scrubbed from humanity, I don’t know if we’ll ever get it.

You’re preaching to the choir.
Yep 😊
Listen:
Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.
There’s one thing Earthlings might learn to do, if they tried hard enough: Ignore the awful times, and concentrate on the good ones.”
This quote and the preceeding one are by Mr. Vonnegut.

I just thank God you’re alive after that horrific car accident in Ottumwa
That’s a whole other story… ;)

He’s very lucky to have survived it

That’s not quite the way I remember it
